Both sentences are semantically wrong. Erkek is more about gender. So its better to use adam adamı uyandırıyor or adam uyanıyor. And the difference between uyanmak and uyandırmak: Uyanmak is to wake up (intransitive) Uyandırmak is to wake sb up (transitive) When the suffix -dir (-dır, -dir, -dur, -dür, -tır, -tir, -tur, -tür) is added to an intransitive verb, it changes the verb into transitive one: Uyanmak/uyandırmak (to wake up/to wake sb up) Ölmek/öldürmek (to die/to kill sb) Kızmak/kızdırmak (to be annoyed/to annoy sb) (PC: transitive verb is the verb which can take an object) I hope I could explain it.

In the first one: Adam uyanıyor: The man wakes up / He, himself wakes up. In the second one: Adam (birisini) uyandırıyor. The man causes someone to wake up. http://www.italki.com/question/237693

Teşekkürler Reha, but I still don't understand So, Adam uyanıyor = the man is waking up Adam kızı uyandırıyor = the man is in the middle of waking up the girl? It's the -ıdı- part in the middle which is making me confused, I don't understand how it changes the meaning

he is waking up =adam uyanıyor ("erkek" can be used only for gender specifing) "erkek" is not necessary here. it shouln't be used here. he waking up the man= adam erkeği uyandırıyor. if these answers are not enough you can ask me directly i will happily help you if you wish.
